Phytoplanktons are an important part of ocean food chains. They are found in high productivity zones of an ocean. An increase in ocean temperature during specific times causes the death of phytoplanktons. If all phytoplanktons die in the given food chain, then

Phytoplanktons are dominant in which of the following zones?

Assertion: In a marine aquatic ecosystem, the biomass of phytoplanktons (producers) at any given time, is lower than the biomass of zooplanktons (primary consumers). Reason: Phytoplanktons are consumed almost as rapidly as they are formed and thus have shorter life spans.
